Alright, Sim card is working again.
I went into a very large Claro store on Av 30 de Marzo just north of Parque de Independencia. No one could speak english who worked there out of the 15 or so employees. Luckily a really friendly dominican guy who was asking about his own phone service was in there and he helped me out as a translator.
The woman working there quoted me the same base price for a month of prepaid cellphone service including internet: 1200 DOP or about 30 bucks. same price they said at the claro store in the airport. If there is a better deal I'd definitely go for it, though I don't think I was hustled on that.
The only problem with my sim was it needed to be taken out and put back in...strange.
With my phone back in action I've already got multiple dates set up. In fact I may have overbooked.
